CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Former President Bill Clinton was upstaged at a campaign rally in Canton, Ohio, Saturday when U.S. Rep. John Boccieri's wife went into labor.
Clinton was about 8 minutes into his 47-minute speech when the Boccieris' baby decided it couldn't wait and the congressman left the stage to accompany his wife Stacey to the hospital, The (Canton) Repository reported.
"The baby's now being born," Clinton told the audience, triggering a round of applause. "You'd be amazed how many times I take a picture with a very pregnant woman and she immediately gives birth".
Clinton quipped to the Boccieris' parents, who were on hand, that he'd like "some credit for your fifth grandchild being born into the world".
"We've got another Democrat. I wish we could register that baby," the former president added.
The baby, expected to be a girl, wasn't due until Election Day on Tuesday.
